that is an argument not in china but in the united states. there is a debate on health care as a human right. the irony is when the universal declaration of human rights was concluded economic and social rights as well as civil and political rights and the architect of that document was her husband spoke about the full freedom. freedom from need. freedom from fear and freedom from want went hand-in-hand. his conceptualization of freedom. that was because in 1948 the memory was very fresh in the minds of the u.s. administration about depression. it is interesting to see the economic recession today will revive interest in recognizing economic and social life in this country as rights. the third reason poverty is not seen as a human rights issue and human-rights are not injected into public eradication strategy is is because there is a belief the market was processing. if we simply have economic growth we will all be pulled out. as we all know that is not how economic growth takes place. economic growth creates inequality at the same time and e

the taliban will not be defeated and it will outweighed the united states. but what if the taliban weren't our enemy? what if the solution to this problem? what i would say is we need to distinguish between the taliban which is a local insurgency and al qaeda which is a worldwide insurgency, terrorist group, that's targeting the u.s. that's a big difference because when you're a guerrilla group you hold territory. and when you hold territory, you can be deterred a lot more than you can be if you are a terrorist group and you don't -- you can't be threatened. we don't want to repeat what we did in the cold war, but it seems like what we're doing, remember when we thought all communist with the same? but then, there was a chinese commies and then it was a soviet time it is. and then it was of course common like tito which we eventually kind of the chinese and the yugoslav communist, we sort of made friends with, at least to some extent to prod our soviet enemy. in fact, richard nixon made friends with the more radical chinese in sort of not analyze, but a loos
